HAD TO BE CUT DOWN.
1t IS stated at the government printing on1ce
that more work was done there last month than
ever before since the ONCE was established, in q
single month; that the demand for printing from
the various government departments and from
Congress exceeded that Of any previous month,
and In order to meet the demand the expenditures
went beyond the proportion OF the fund for Feb
ruary. As has been stated In TEE STAR, the Law
requires the annual appropriation for public print

year shall have its due proportion. This month Is
the last OF the third quarter, and during the cur.
rent month the public printer has to ecOnOmize
for excess Of proportionate expenditures In Feb
ruary; hence the discharges and furlough2 On the
1st OF April the beginning OF the last quarter OF
the fiscal year, the last fourth OF the annual an.
